Session #11227:  Conflict Management Division Doctoral Consortium

"Fast forward:

Research Strategies to Accelerate Tenure and Foster a Successful Career"

What is it?

At the consortium doctoral students will learn how to turn their dissertations into five-year research programs. The goal is to develop an area of expertise and recognition that makes a contribution to the field and sets the stage for making tenure.  To achieve this goal, doctoral students will listen to presentations by leading scholars in CM, and then meet with these scholars and other students in small groups to discuss how to choose and advance students' research programs.  Scholars present include: Wendi Adair, Kurt Dirks, Martin Euwema, Michael Gross, Keith Murnigham, Mara Olekalns, Randall Peterson, Madan Pillutia, Linda Putnam,Quinetta Roberson, and Bennett Tepper.

When is it?

The consortium is Saturday, August 4^th from 9am-5pm at the Boston Park Plaza, White Hill Room.  We begin with presentations from scholars who will recount how they began their research programs and give advice to you.  At 2pm we will break out into small group session consulting for research program development.  Later in the afternoon, a panel of editors of major journals will lend their perspective.  We will finish the consortium with a full group discussion and wrap-up.  

Who Should Apply?

Any doctoral student who is a member of CM, or who is specializing in topics within the domain statement of CM can apply.  You must not have attended a CM doctoral consortium before.  Note that you do not have to have proposed your dissertation yet.  You only have to have chosen your specialization within the domain statement of CM.  

How to Apply?

Pre-registration is required by June 30^th, 2012.  Contact the CM Doctoral Consortium organizer, Michael Gross (CMD@business.colostate.edu ), expressing your interest.  Also, you will need to have a faculty member send a nomination (via email) on your behalf.
